La scuola

To those who were never the top of the class

A tender, nostalgic reflection on a teacher's bond with his students on the eve of summer, blending gentle comedy with wistful concern for their futures.

In a high school in the outskirts of Rome, it's the last day before the summer holidays. A literature teacher reminisces the past year and wonders what will become of the students he cared for as if they were his children.
